Here’s Why Centrifuge (CFG) Is Up 67% Today

Centrifuge (CFG), a decentralized lending protocol, has emerged as one of the top gainers on the crypto price-tracking website, CoinGecko. In the past 24 hours, its native cryptocurrency, CFG, has soared by over 67% to $0.2073.

Fueling CFG’s recent price surge is an announcement from the crypto exchange Binance. Less than two hours ago, Binance announced plans to list Centrifuge’s native coin with a seed tag starting at 13:00 UTC today.

Centrifuge’s CFG Enters Binance

Binance explained that it would launch Centrifuge’s coin under three spot trading pairs – CFG/USDT, CGF/USDC, and CFG/TRY.

Ahead of its spot listing, Binance noted that Binance Alpha traders can begin trading the cryptocurrency using their Alpha points. However, the crypto will no longer be available on Binance Alpha once spot trading commences on the main platform. Exactly 15 minutes before spot trading commences, Alpha traders can begin transferring their CFG holdings to their Spot accounts to continue trading.

Listing Centrifuge’s CFG with a seed tag means that Binance labels the project as one exhibiting “higher volatility and risks” compared with other listed assets. Before users begin spot trading CFG, they must pass a quiz to ensure they understand the risks associated with the token. Every 90 days, they must undergo these quizzes.

Over time, Binance will decide whether to remove or retain the seed tag based on various factors. They include the project’s market metrics (trading volume, liquidity), the team’s level of public communication, and other factors.

CFG Soars 67%

As earlier mentioned, CFG saw a notable 67% pump. Still, it is worth noting that most of this surge occurred in less than two hours, as shown in the chart below.

As seen on the chart, CFG still trades near its daily peak. It currently traded at $0.1961, a 65% increase in the past 24 hours. Its daily traded volume has also increased by over 5,000% to $71.8 million.

It is not surprising when cryptocurrencies see massive increases following news of an exchange listing. The price pump often varies based on the size of the crypto exchange listing the token. The surge shows that investors are bullish about the listing. Recall that CFG soared by over 100% last month after securing an Upbit listing.

Centrifuge – Blending RWAs With Decentralized Lending

Launched in 2017, Centrifuge is a project that takes tokenization to the next level. It enables decentralized lending using tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) as collateral. It serves investors and asset managers globally.

It is built on its own blockchain, developed using Polkadot’s infrastructure. Still, its services are accessible across Ethereum and its scaling solutions.

The CFG coin is used to cover transaction fees. It also serves as a governance token within the Centrifuge DAO during on-chain and off-chain voting. The cryptocurrency can also be staked to earn additional yield.

To grow its business, Centrifuge has forged various partnerships with renowned crypto projects. One of the most recent is a $100 million deal among Centrifuge, Resolv, and Aave to expand the tokenization market.
